<p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><font face="Calibri" size="3">We are writing an application that requires consistent small latencies in obtaining packets from the network. We are grabbing UDP streamed packets from the network and then playing the multi-media stream. Currently our overall program has unacceptable latencies so we are dissecting it to understand exactly where the latencies are. I’m concerned it may be in the networking piece. Can you help me understand what type of latencies we could expect in grabbing packets. I would like to see sub-2ms. Are there certain tricks to obtain this type of latency?</font></p>
